This thing, love unconditional
turned out entirely fictional
and we’re too old to sit around crying about what could’ve been

Take your starchy work shirts back
give me back my propeller hat
salvage the lessons learned and let time
get rid of the rest

I guess I do a lot of things that you say don’t make sense
I’ve been wrong before and surely I’ve been wrong again
I won’t call you Shirley if you’ll call me one more time
but you’re ruthless with efficiency in everything
and that includes goodbyes

Come through, baby, I’m hurting
but you’ve got work in the morning
Beneath your dignity I’d clown car myself 
’til I fit

I was your little court jester 
bad day? Spin my propeller
If you said jump I’d ask 
"how do I get to the bridge?"

I guess I do a lot of things that you say don’t make sense
I’ve been wrong before and surely I’ve been wrong again
I won’t call you Shirley if you’ll call me one more time
but you’re ruthless with efficiency in everything
and that includes goodbyes

You never were one to improvise
I wing it so often I can fly
Now I’m too close to the sun
Caution somewhere in the wind
I was hoping you would come
but you’d never wear a hat like this

Lyrics:

Sleepy monster, drooling on the sheets, 
may you never hear of the kisses I’ve stolen
tiptoe round my room so dark and bleak
in fear of the wrath lest the creature be woken

We could be wise about it, I suppose
could be more sober in the life we chose
But do I really want this love of mine
locked in an office till it dies? 

Sleepy monster, squinting in the sun
of nightmare repellents, you are my favorite
wonder how the universe would change 
if the day that we met, you got to school one hour later

We could be wise about it, I suppose 
could be more sober in the life we chose 
I’ve sold so many hours of my life
and love, I’ve only so much time

(solo)

(chorus)

Sleepy monster, pull the covers up 
and make me a space in the warmth where you were dreaming
Our work isn’t gonna do itself
but neither are we, in a moment so fleeting

Sleepy Monster (ROUGH)

In regards to lyric interpretations: if you see it, it's there.
